Mutual/Automa c Aid Given Mutual/Automa c Aid Received
Mutual-Aid - agreements between agencies, organizations, and jurisdictions that provide a mechanism to quickly obtain emergency assistance in
the form of personnel, equipment, and other associated items and services. This is usually accomplished through contractual agreement. The
primary objective is to facilitate rapid, short-term deployment of emergency support prior to, during, and after an incident. Typically implemented by
formal request on an incident by incident basis.

Automatic-Aid - emergency assistance between agencies, organizations and jurisdictions that is pre-arranged and dispatched automatically by
contractual agreement. Differs from mutual-aid which is typically implemented by a formal request. Automatic-aid is as the name implies, it
happens automatically without request. Automatic-aid is primarily pre-arranged and utilized for the initial alarm assignment on structure res and is
in place 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
